A Dream
BY EDGAR ALLAN POE 
In visions of the dark night       I have dreamed of joy departed—But a waking dream of life and light       Hath left me broken-hearted.
Ah! what is not a dream by day       To him whose eyes are castOn things around him with a ray       Turned back upon the past?
That holy dream—that holy dream,       While all the world were chiding,Hath cheered me as a lovely beam       A lonely spirit guiding.
What though that light, thro' storm and night,       So trembled from afar—What could there be more purely bright   In Truth's day-star?

I think the theme of the poem is like he is trying to say if it cant happen in real life there is a chance  you can dream about it.Yes, I like this poem because I cant do  a lot of stuff and at least at night I can dream.I can dream of being the best cheerleader/gymnast/softball player ever to do those sports.I think I can relate best to this poem is with gymnastics.Gymnastics is with balance and concentration and its harder than you think.I think the poet was happy when he wrote this because of the title A Dream.
